The Amazing Spiderman: A new avatar

Everyone's beloved Spiderman has returned in a new avatar: played by Andrew Garfield. And despite Tobey Mcguire's portrayal of Spiderman etched deeply in everyone's mind, Garfield has been welcomed with a resounding applause.

When it came to playing Spiderman, Garfield recalls, "I saw it as a massive challenge in many ways.... To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well." Garfield studied how spiders moved to imitate their moves. He also practiced yoga for the role in order to be as flexible as possible, after all, he had to do a lot of crawling and leaping. Garfield also found the physical stunts very challenging.

As always, Hollywood has drawn the character very well; after all, the character is the most important thing in the script. Social outcast and teenager Peter Parker spends his days trying to unravel the mystery of his own past, which includes being abandoned by his father. Later, he discovers a secret related to his father, which is one of the reasons pushing him towards his destiny: of becoming Spider Man.

The movie sent three philosophical signs to me: One, that you come back in a new avatar each time, get a new start to complete things and learn lessons you could not learn. Second, that there are always challenges along Life's way, but if you are determined and don't mind the sweat, it's all worth it. After all, it's better to burn out than to rust out. That even if someone's already been a trailblazer, you can leave your new footprint as well. And finally, that everyone experiences some sort of sad phase in their lives: when we were unpopular, when either of our parents abandoned us or did not care for us, and we were trying to find sense in all the nonsense around us, little realising that these are just stepping stones to our actual destiny: whatever it is that we are here for.
